The Benefits Of Eating Seasonally

05/28/24 • 25 min

Have you ever tasted something as delicious as a strawberry milkshake made with real, freshly plucked, juicy, in-season strawberries?? Well, let us tell you, friend, it is SO GOOD.

After a visit to a strawberry farm, Jared and Ava decided to turn fresh strawberries into the best milkshakes we've ever tasted! This experience once again reminded us of the profound difference in taste and quality when enjoying in-season produce.

Moving to the countryside transformed our lifestyle and diet, inspiring us to grow our own veggies and embrace local, seasonal foods. Seasonal eating means enjoying fruits and vegetables at their peak nutritional value and flavor, harvested just as nature intended.

In this episode, we explore the numerous benefits of eating seasonally, from fresher and more nutritious food to cost savings, environmental advantages, and supporting local farmers. Learn practical tips on how to source local produce, even if you live in the city, and discover ways to preserve your favorite seasonal fruits and veggies to enjoy all year round.

Join us as we delve into the joys and benefits of eating with the seasons and get inspired to make delicious, nutritious choices that align with nature's rhythm!
